Horribly overpriced. I was really considering purchasing this phone, but I was waiting for the price. No phone should cost this much. The fact that this phone isn't being picked up by any carriers really hurt it's chances. I could literally buy like 2 TV's for that price. Oh Sony, how you just keep disappointing me. Always over pricing yourself right out the door. it's such a shame :(

If no one buys the phone at that ridiculous price then Sony would be forced to lower it. Sadly, people will buy it at that price and Sony knows it.

In Indonesia this sells for Rp. 6,7 mil, which is only 0,2 mil higher than SGS3. I would certainly prefer this rather than Samsung, Blackberry or iPhone which is overpriced in my country. Indonesians are very easily excited by trend, that's the reason why those latter 3 are overpriced in here. Just because many artists are using those phones. Not to mention ridiculous taxes imposed by the moronic government...
I'm an Indonesian btw, just in case some think me badmouthing them...

If you feel the features are more important and you can accept plastic body, then get SGS4 which is much cheaper but more advance in all Xperia Z family.

Taxes might be the culprit. I'm a sony fan but 720 USD is too expensive. Sony Pricing in Asia are competitive.

HTC ONE... moreIt actually (also) has more features than ZL (screen callibration to fix the awful colours of Z, IR blaster, slightly better battery, etc).
I agree $720 is too much, but that's too much for any phone out there, and ZL actually sports better features than Z in places that *matter* (screen legibility, control of domestic devices, small frame, etc), so if anything *it* (and not Z) should be the more expensive of the two...
